I grew up in a family that went to church every Sunday, but when I had a choice, I distanced myself from religion. I consider myself an Agnostic, in other words I believe that the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly theoloical claims regarding metaphysics, afterlife or the existence of God, god(s), or deities — is unknown or inherently unknowable.
